Accordingly, a bench headed by Justice V K Tahilramani upheld a family court order which rejected a petition filed by Niranjani Roshan Rao, a Hindu, seeking divorce from husband Roshan Pinto on the ground that he was a Christian at the time of marriage and was professing the same religion till today. 

As the family court rejected her petition, she moved the high court, which, on December 24, rejected her appeal and upheld the lower court's order.
